What are your biggest pet peeves?

For me, it's people who complain 24/7. We all have things to say once in awhile that may not be on the positive side, but people who complain about anything and everything in their lives is *thumbsdown* in my books. Take your negativity elsewhere, thanks.



What are yours?

People who are lazy. But in a very specific way.

They type of people who wont watch tv without a remote, those who wouldnt roll down their windows if they had to do it manually, those who would rather wait in a drive through line for 15 minutes at mcdonalds than park, walk into the empty restuarant, order ,and leave in 3 minutes.

-Slow computers
-Filipino people who think they are the sh*t (I'm filipino and I see this everywhere)
-People talking on their cell phones while driving w/out the use of a headset
-Slow ass drivers

I'm sure there's a couple more but those are the main ones

Definitely those drivers on the highway that are vulnerable to the slingshot effect.

Here's how it works: Two cars are staggered on a two lane highway. If I am behind the car that is further ahead and try to pass, the car in the other lane will invariably move up to block the opening. Try it, it works almost every time. They will speed up so you can't go through.

I like to demonstrate this to passengers to make it more amusing than annoying, but it is REALLY annoying when I'm actually trying to get somewhere.

LOL! I point that out about other drivers all the time too! What I do though, is signal... then as they hit the gas to seal me in, I look at them... point, and laugh. Then I keep taunting them with my signal, but never get in front of them... until the very end, where I'll smoothly do it... WITH NO SIGNAL!

Well, I think people are just naturally territoral... so dah well. Its annoying, but I dont think it ever made me angry.

- Ignorant people
- I really dislike people who complain at restaurants while eating out....espescially when they bitch about the food and yell at the waiter/bartender. You can always pick out the stupid, classless people, from the bunch.
- I also think it really sucks that I can't drink on the beach in Daytona anymore

- People who overreact to every situation life puts them in.....self-made victims, as I like to call them.....

- People who can never be taken seriously.....joking and goofing around is one thing, but if you don't know when to quit, then that's where things get irritating.....

The only other things I can't stand have to be arrogance, close-mindedness, ignorance, cockiness (from guys and girls).....that's all I can think of for now.....
